problems driving me nuts... any suggestions?
21/f I'm constantly shaking/moving and i'm having a lot of muscle spasms. I can feel the bones in my neck "grind?" as my neck jerks. I feel like i'm drunk when i'm walking.I move side to side. I've been running into things a lot lately, especially when turning corners. I'm having trouble with buttoning buttons, writing, and doing almost everything i once was able to do. also im dropping things a lot. I feel really lousy in the hot sun, like i'm gonna come down with the stomach flu.. but it never happens. When i'm lying in a hot bath, the lights seem to dim and then i get really sleepy and i feel sick. My vision is screwed up very blurry and it feels like my eyes aren't moving together. i'm nearsighted and had my vision checked in sept05 but no vision change. My eyes move when i'm trying to fall asleep at night and my eyelids flutter.. I've been told im depressed over and over but i dont feel depressed. my weight keeps going up and down. i go from 104 to 111. this has happened at least 10 times in the past year. its because i gag when trying to swallow food like the muscles in my throat aren't working right. all my problems seem to come and go, but the movements have been constant for quite some time now. i get random pains all over, but they're almost always in the same place. since i graduated in 03, i've lost nearly all my muscle mass, probably from lack of use. I have numbness in my neck/throat, chest (above my breasts), ankles, finger tips, etc. Sometimes i get itches that feel like they're under my skin then the area goes numb. ex: ankles.
your problem sounds similar to mine. when i lay down at night on my back sometimes the room will spin like ive been drinking beer. i mostly sleep on my left side because it feels like the circulation is being cut off to my head and i get dizzy. i bent over the other day and a sharp pain went through my arm, shoulder and up to my head and i felt almost like blacking out. i am scheduled for an mri. im thinking pinched nerve. what are some of your other symtoms?
me again (i think i have short term memory loss too)! i had to go back and read what you originally said. i dont think yours is depression. are you under a lot of stress? stress will make you feel bad. neck pain and the jerking sounds like muscle or nerve problem. a friend of mine had some of this trouble and she ended up at the mayo clinic for extensive testing. some rare brain disorder (like it was shrinking). thats why i am freaking out.
I've always (since i was about 12) got these "blackouts" when i got up... like all the blood from my head was rushing out of it. My vision goes black and my head pounds to the beat of my heart and it feelings like a tight band around my head. These last for a minute max. But lately i've been getting them when i sretch and/or yawn sitting down.. this type lasts 10 seconds max. I just noticed that my toes on my left foot feel numb.. and so is the side of my ankle. and i'm walking differently... my feet point outward. i just can't relax. I honestly feel drunk. I walk like i'm drunk. And i do have the spinny feeling when i'm lying down. i HAVE to sleep on my side. if i sleep on my back, as im falling asleep i feel like i'm sinking into my head and if i dont wake up i'm gonna stop breathing... very strange. I always have this feeling like my left eye isn't moving with my right.. say when i'm looking to the left. The neck jerking is the same as all over movements.. jerks, twitches whatever you wanna call them. that pain up the side of my neck is probably unrelated because i can remember having it when i was younger in the pool as i shook my head in a swimming pool... you know getting the water off my face and such. im really sorry if this doesnt make much sense. i'm also always typing the word words online.. like if i meant to say maybe i'll type make. or for godson i'll type grandson. or for if i'll type is. i just proof read the above and saw that i typed pull instead of pool!!!! i'm turning into a freaking moron UGH. i got an A in comp 1 and an A in comp 2... i wasn't always this stupid!!!
ugh..... sinking into my BED. not head
i swear something is really going on with me and this isn't ALL from anxiety.

RE: my toes/feet are ALWAYS cold and my hands/fingers are cold when im not using them. toes and fingers are colder, usually. right now my toes are cold but sweaty.
Look up Raynaud's Phenomenon. This is not unheard of by itself, but is often part of an autoimmune disease such as Lupus.
